Nisha Trivedi Reviews

Company: mbaMission

Nisha Trivedi earned her BA in communication from the University of Pennsylvania and her MBA from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. A deep interest in understanding the consumer inspired her to initially pursue a career in marketing research, and after college, she held positions at Time Inc., Rosetta, and KPMG LLP in New York City. A desire to transition into brand management led Nisha to Ross, where she was an active member of the Marketing Club, organizing mock internship interviews for her peers during her first year and serving as the club’s vice-president of communications during her second year. After graduating with her MBA, Nisha worked for several years in brand management in San Francisco at Big Heart Pet Brands (now part of The J.M. Smucker Company) before joining mbaMission. She most enjoys creating brand positioning and crafting tailored messaging that speaks to consumers’ needs, which is a skill she applies in helping her clients “market” themselves to their dream MBA programs. Nisha also has a longstanding commitment to philanthropy—she has been a volunteer team leader for New York Cares and now sits on the board of directors of The Shanti Project, a San Francisco–based nonprofit that enhances the health, quality of life, and well-being of people with serious illnesses.

Nisha is amazing!!! Best consultant out there for successful applications!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I worked with Nisha to apply to HSW during the 2023-2024 application cycles, and I can say without hesitation that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Nisha was absolutely pivotal for my successful MBA applications - I got accepted into H and W, an outcome that I could only dream of prior to getting the acceptance letters from both schools!

I came to Nisha feeling generally confused and overwhelmed by the work required to pull my applications together, and she immediately helped structure the approach for me to make it digestible and doable. Starting from our first meeting, Nisha set about understanding what has been important in my life; she kept that top of mind while working with me to develop applications that reflected me in the best ways possible for each school. Nisha was crucial for my essays, recommender selection and preparation, interview prep, and all of the small parts of applications that I didn't even know existed!

Nisha worked closely with me to brainstorm content for essays and then took a rigorous approach to pulling out the best stories that I could tell for each essay prompt. I truly felt cared for and supported as we went through brainstorming sessions, topic selection, outline reviews, and many, many essay drafts before we felt confident that I had well-rounded and complete essays to submit. She applied the same level of detail to the other big parts of my applications (recommender selection, interview prep, etc.), and even the small parts that gave me extra concern. I can honestly say that working with Nisha allowed me to leave no stone unturned and propelled me towards putting my best foot forward for each of the applications that we worked on together.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Nisha was absolutely pivotal for my successful MBA applications, and I recommend working with her to anyone who is serious about applying to top programs!

Review - Nisha Trivedi Hourly Services

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I loved working with Nisha, she was very quick to turn around essay feedback and schedule calls with me. I mostly focused on essays with her but also got her advice on how to approach interviews, and reviewed many short answers on the applications. In all, I used about 10 hours of her services, about 7 were for essays and the application and the rest were for interviews. I did a mock interview for both HBS and Kellogg. The mock for HBS was great and very similar for the real thing so I felt very prepared.

I would highly recommend her, and had an 100% admission rate with the schools I applied to.

Highly Recommend working with Nisha!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I had great experience working with Nisha! I was admitted with scholarships to all four schools that Nisha helped me with. Throughout the whole process, she was a great thought-partner and sounding board. She was also always very responsive and turned around essay comments in under 24 hours. I felt like her essay comments and general guidance really helped me shape my story and understand what admissions was really looking for in each part of the application. I also really appreciated that she often checked in with her colleagues to gather additional opinions on some of my questions. I would absolutely recommend working with Nisha!

Nisha Trivedi is amazing!! Helped me get into HBS, Wharton, Sloan

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Nisha is truly the most amazing consultant. I was hesitant to pay for an admissions consultant at first, but my time with Nisha was 100% worth it. For the 4 schools I applied for, Nisha helped me get accepted from Harvard, Wharton and MIT, waitlisted from Stanford - seriously the best outcomes possible.

She is extremely warm and supportive - Nisha made me feel so comfortable, ensuring I could get very vulnerable in my applications.

She was an amazing sounding board - to make sure every story and anecdote in my application reflected the best part of me, and also she is an expert at knowing what the schools are looking for.

When it was essay crunch time, Nisha went the extra mile to make sure I had edits as soon as possible. She always responded to emails promptly, scheduled Zoom calls when needed and helped me so much to be concise! With any questions, Nisha gives a firm and kind response - she also will double-check with other mbaMission consultants to get their input, so you get the best answer possible.

Could not rate Nisha more highly!!!

Nisha is a Rockstar!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I cannot recommend Nisha enough! I came into the MBA application process feeling overwhelmed and lacking structure. From the moment I connected with Nisha, I knew I made the right choice. Her inviting personality and optimism made this process a lot less daunting. I was grateful for all the upfront brainstorming and collaboration Nisha partnered with me on that helpful shape my story. From reviewing essays to answering one-off questions, Nisha was there for me at every step of the process. I truly would not have been accepted to my top choice program if it was not for her support. If you are considering a MBA consultant, look no further – Nisha is a rockstar!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

When I first started thinking about my MBA applications, I was nervous. The idea of fixing up my resume and writing an essay centered around me seemed like an impossible task. It all turned around when I first started talking to Nisha. Immediately, she gave me the confidence I needed to tackle my MBA applications. She helped craft my story based on the brainstorm document that I filled out and gave great ideas on which essays would contribute to my story. She always turned around revisions super quickly and replied to any questions that I have just as quickly. When it came to the interview, she gave great ideas on how to tackle each problem (also based on the brainstorm document) and how to structure each answer. I got into both my MBA programs with amazing scholarships.

Thank you, Nisha

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I entered the MBA application process with a lot of unanswered questions, knowing it was a daunting process that would require ongoing support from an unbiased third party. I'm fortunate that I had the chance to work with Nisha for almost a year as I navigated decisions on which schools to apply to, how to structure my application, and how to fine tune my essays. From our first meeting, Nisha listened to my ideas, thoughts, and questions very closely. I could always trust her to respond promptly, make herself available as soon as I needed her guidance, and I knew from her many years of MBA consulting experience that I was in good hands. Nisha understood my goals from an MBA program and could gently suggest new schools or application approaches that accommodated my personal strengths and weaknesses. Her feedback is very direct and constructive, and she knows how to encourage you over a prolonged application process. I'd recommend working with Nisha to anyone considering getting support from a professional. Thanks to Nisha's support, I'm joining Kellogg's 1Y MBA program next month and am excited for my future.

Admission Consultant Review

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I decided to hire a consultant because I was conscious of my low GPA and wanted to increase the odds of admission. That was a solid decision, as Nisha helped me to reduce greatly the stress levels during admission and to focus on the GMAT and my work. I also had a completely wrong vision on what should be included in the essay and Nisha helped me to edit my story to make it more convenient for schools. I‘m very satisfied with Nisha’s assistance and I would definitely recommend her services, as she is a world class specialist and she greatly increased the odds of my admission. And yes, I’ve received and admit.

Nisha is the Best

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Working with Nisha was very very helpful. I went into the process very narrow minded - I only wanted to apply to schools in the city I was living in. Through working with Nisha and discussing other options, she gently guided me to a place where I could picture myself applying & moving elsewhere. This alone was invaluable. I ended up getting into every school I applied to out of my city and received scholarship money from all of them as well. I didn't know if before this process, but the school I am attending is quite literally my dream school, and I am forever grateful to Nisha. Nisha, thank you for providing me with guidance and preparing me in all ways for what was to come in this process. Your insight was invaluable.

Trust the raving reviews, Nisha is truly a star!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Working with Nisha was a fantastic experience. She is amazing!
I decided to apply in the round 3 and was just 2 weeks away from the deadlines for my target schools. Despite the time crunch, Nisha took the time to thoroughly understand my story, offered some valuable insights to perfect my resume and essays. She also completely walked me through the mock interviews, spent a lot of time evaluating my performance and helping me strengthen my responses.
Through her guidance, I was able to get admits from all the 3 schools (CMU, UC Berkeley and UCLA) that I applied to and even secured a scholarship from one of them.
Nisha's quick turnaround time- she usually sent comments and suggestions within a couple of hours of receiving the draft, attention to detail and the ability to always be there and celebrate the success of her clients is truly commendable. I am so grateful to have found her and extremely thankful for all the guidance and support she has provided.
